[Sigia-l] RE: Data vs. Information

[Ed Housman]

Zaya and all:

I have been collecting the messages
on data vs information in a full text
search engine (Personal Librarian)
for analysis.

I see much wisdom there, but it needs
to be sifted and organized.  I plan
to do this over the next month, but
every day there are more good entries
and I can't start the analysis.

I see the result as a kind of Socratic
dialog.  It will have a cast of
characters, and then distill the main
ideas staged as a conversation among sages
sipping wine around a table in infospace.
It could be entertaining.

I suggest that anyone who wants to get
in their last licks do so this week,
then I will start the analysis.
There are about 80 messages so far.

I hope nobody objects to this use of
their words and thoughts.  Everyone
who participated will get a pdf
copy.

--Ed
